10 Bad Taste WWE Angles You Need To Know About

1. All In The Family

Far from being deterred by Shamrock€™s steadfast refusal, Vince was adamant that his show would at some point have a storyline where two family members became intimate with each other. So adamant, in fact, that he proposed that he himself would be one of those involved in the angle. When Stephanie McMahon became pregnant with her and husband Triple H€™s first child in 2006, Vince decided to write the pregnancy into the storyline albeit with a slight twist. In 2006 WWE produced a DVD profile on owner Vince simply titled €˜McMahon€™. The DVD was basically a fluff piece, a textbook example of WWE propaganda designed to paint Mr McMahon in the best possible light. In between the anecdotes, praise and ass-kissing (literal and figurative) there was a disturbing revelation. Stephanie McMahon remembered the time that her father suggested that it should be revealed that he was the father of Stephanie€™s unborn baby. Repulsed by the idea, Steph turned it down on the spot noting on the DVD that €˜I don€™t know who would find entertainment in a story like that€™. Nonplussed, Vince instead proposed that Stephanie€™s brother Shane be revealed as the father instead as if that was a less disturbing option. Again, Stephanie thankfully turned the idea down and WWE audiences were spared the McMahon incest storyline. WWE did briefly feature an incest angle in 2008 with Katie Lea and Paul Burchill but it was dropped after only a couple of weeks when WWE went PG. Although the PG rating gets a lot of criticism from older and veteran fans, the fact that it has spared us from any more angles like the ones in this list is something we can all be grateful for.
